Abandonment by his father, losses and generosity: Curiosities about Keanu Reeves, who turns 60

Keanu Reeves is, for many people, a mystery. A nice mystery, it must be said — which only increases the curiosity of fans and admirers about the Hollywood star. With simple habits (he is often seen riding the subway in New York) and extremely reserved about his personal life, the actor once came across two women swimming in his pool after breaking into the mansion where he lives in 2014. He took it well.

It’s not just the viewers of his successful films who consider him an idol. Those who work directly with him behind the camera also have good stories to tell. The international press has already reported that Reeves, whose net worth exceeds R$2 billion, would have given Harley-Davidson motorcycles to the stuntmen in “The Matrix Reloaded” (2003) and, more recently, Rolex watches to those who helped him in “John Wick 4” (2023).

Reeves also has his personal dramas. At a certain point in his life, mourning became part of his routine. The actor lost a daughter while still in the womb, an ex-girlfriend and his best friend, all in tragic ways. Perhaps that’s why he said in a recent interview with the BBC that he thinks about death “all the time”.
